The construction industry is a labor-oriented and quality, cost, and schedule performance is effected by technicians. However, the construction industry have faced a labor shortage problem. Therefore, technician graying and no new workers inflow cause labor shortage and decline of worker's skill level. The utilization of foreign technicians instead of domestic technicians has been increased in the construction industry. This paper performed questionnaire survey for 43 managers on 14 project fields to determine the current status and problems of construction technicians and to propose a improvement plan. As a result, most foreign technicians are carpenters and iron workers, but the skill levels are generally lower than domestics. The major problems for foreign technicians are communication and non-skilled. Then, labor productivity and accident rates of foreign technicians are higher than domestics. This paper proposes that skill training programs, language lessons, and multi-cultural programs are effective to improve foreign workers' problems.

The construction phase of the construction project needs a large scale of manpower, materials and equipment. Among them, manpower is a core part for project construction. These manpower are divided into two groups. The first is the management group that manages the construction, and the second is the site technician manpower for construction work. Recently, construction company has suffering due to the insufficient supply of technician labor. Accordingly, this study will perform an empirical analysis about the construction technician. To do this, we surveyed related research trends and conducted surveys on the satisfaction of the construction technician. The result, satisfaction with pay and insurance was relatively low compared to other items. Therefore, this study were conducted in-depth interviews with technician managers in order to analyze the cause. In addition, case analysis was conducted to analyze actual working conditions. As a result, it was analyzed that the wage level and insurance system of construction technician were considerably stable compared to the manufacturing industry. The result of this study is expected to contribute to the activation of excellent technician cultivation through the change of recognition about construction technician.

The construction craft workers have been getting older and have become drained, in spite of the vital factor that it directly affects productivity and quality as a final producer. This situation in the construction industry is ultimately due to evasion of performances by young craft workers. Therefore, the aim of this study is to propose the certification and level system of construction craft workers and to extract young craft workers from the market for construction craft workers so as to supply and demand high quality of craft workers. First of all, the present status and problems of the domestic construction craft workers are considered in this study. Furthermore, the appropriate way to establish its certification and level system is suggested from the Interview with experts, as well as references of German and Australian case. The revitalization of certification and level system provided in this study is expected to ensure that the craft workers are not simple laborers, but are required the professional knowledge and skill. Besides, it will lead to strengthen specificity and to break from aging, by taking young and qualified craft workers into the construction industry. Also, it will promote an employment stability by connecting the social security system.

Labor shortages are a serious problem for Korea's construction industry. The problem is both quantitative and qualitative. There is a shortage in supply as due to a decrease in the influx of new labor, and existing workers are less productive as they age. The problem will only get worse as more and more major public projects are being planned. Options for increasing the labor supply are somewhat limited, and thus efforts need to be made to adopt new technologies that can improve the productivity and efficiency of field work and their processes. This paper introduces seven innovation technologies that have the best potential to increase productivity and thus reduce the burden of labor shortage problems. These include 1) Substitution by use of robotics and automation, 2) development and applications of Innovative materials to reduce on site field work, 3) increase in productivity through the implementation of Information Technology, 4) improved productivity through the application of modules, and prefabrication, 5) prevention of rework and redesign, 6) diversification of labor by integrating labor skills, and 7) improved productivity by standardizing site processes.

21세기 경제주역인 정보통신산업이 계속 성장하기 위해서는 원활한 전문인력 수급이 전제조건이 되어야하고, 2005년까지 정부가 추진하는 초고속 정보통신망 구축사업이 성과를 이루기 위해서도 정보통신전문인력의 확보가 우선시 되어야 할 것이다. 현재 인력수요가 공급보다 급속히 늘어나는 실정으로 인력부족은 갈수록 심화될 전망이며, 특히, 통신공사업은 현장, 노동집약적 산업특성으로 인하여 3D 업종으로 인식되고 있어 기술인력들의 현장 기피현상의 심화, 통신공사업 관련 기술분야에 대한 전문인력 양성기관의 부족 등으로 안정된 기술인력 확보에 더욱 어려움을 겪고 있으며, 그에 따른 공사품질저하의 악순환을 초래할 우려가 있다. 통신공사 관련 기술환경을 보면 기술의 고도화와 신기술의 도입이 빈번하고 그 적용기술이 다양할 뿐 아니라, 기술의 적용주기가 짧아 시장환경에 맞는 인력의 안정적 육성과 공급 및 기존인력들에 대한 신기술 재교육이 그 어느 산업보다도 절실하게 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 정보통신산업의 발전에 따른 정보통신공사업의 현황과 전망을 분석하고 정보통신설비 시공전문인력의 수요현황을 토대로 정보통신설비 시공인력의 앙성방향 및 과정에 대해서 제시한다. 초고속 정보통신망의 조기구축과 시공품질향상을 위하여 기간통신망 구축에 소요되는 중급 이상의 다기능기술인력은 기능대학을 통하여 우수한 시공전문인력을 안정적으로 양성하고, 초고속인터넷 개통인력과 구내통신설비 설치인력은 단기적인 기능인력의 재교육을 통한 양성 방안을 강구할 필요가 있다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze technical manpower management problems that were made by specialized construction company, centering on the field of machinery and equipments, to offer an improvement of technical manpower management. For this study, the adapted research method select owners&foremans on 18 specialized construction company by machinery&equipment services and on-site supervisors on general contractor and then investigate the problem of contract and subcontract by survey. After analyzing the actual state of management, it present an improvement of technical manpower management. The results of this research are as follows. 1) It is analyzed foreman had a number of difficulty for dealing manpower management because of subordinate relationship between supervisor and foreman. 2) The improvement of technical manpower management is concluded that foreman is to be on- site proxy supervisor or to be hired by an annual salary.

바야흐로 본격적인 졸업시즌이다. 모두가 졸업을 축하고 새로운 시작에 격려해야 때이지만 대학을 졸업하고도 취업이 안돼 고민하는 젊은이들이 늘고 있고, 이러한 극심한 취업난은 몇 년째 이어져 사회문제로 대두되고 있다. 그러나 아이러니컬하게도 이러한 극심한 청년실업에도 불구하고 산업 기술·기능 인력은 부족해 일선에서는 심각한 인력난을 겪고 있는 것이 우리 사회의 현실이다. 우리 사회는‘과학기술입국’을 내세웠던 1960년대부터 이공계의 전문 인력 양성에 상당한 노력을 기울여왔고, 그런 노력은 최근까지 이어져 왔다. 이제 본격적인 지식기반 사회로의 진입을 앞두고 기술·기능 인력의 양성을 위한 이공계의 중요성은 다시 강조될 수밖에 없지만 이런 사회적 중요성을 철저하게 외면되고 있고 이의 결과는 기술·기능 인력의 심각한 인력난으로 나타나고 있다.

Construction is a typical labor-dependent industry. However, problems related to wage payment, which directly affects the livelihood of workers, have caused other problems in maintaining skilled workers, such as increasing the turnover rate of skilled workers, resulting in a shortage of skilled workers. Against this backdrop, this study was conducted to develop measures to improve the conventional wage payment systems in order to prevent skilled workers from leaving their jobs and to maintain them as workers. It is necessary to make the registration of non-registered small-sized construction companies in Korea mandatory, and to introduce means by which construction companies that hire workers through non-registered agents can be penalized. In addition, the project bank account (PBA) system used in the domestic banking sector can be benchmarked in operating payment systems, an approach that is expected to effectively prevent delayed wage payments in the construction industry.

사업의 지속적인 성장을 위해서, 생상성의 향상은 필수적인 요소이다. 건설업은 노동집약적인 산업이고 그래서 건설기능인력은 생산성에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 요인이다. 그러나 매해 건설기능인력은 감소하고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 이러한 문제는 반드시 교육체계와 직급체계의 제안을 통해 관리되어져야 한다. 이 연구의 목적은 기존의 문헌고찰을 통하여 현재의 교육체계와 직급체계의 연관된 문제를 찾아내고 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 교육체계와 직급체계를 제안하는데 목적이 있다. 또 이러한 교육체계와 직급체계의 타당성 검증을 위하여 건설 기능 인력의 설문조사와 건설 실무자의 면담, 조사를 통하여 타당성을 도출해낸다. 좀 더 세부적인 사항이나 결론은 아래의 글에서 알아보기로 한다.
